"Already familiar with the magics of Life and Death, the group decides that Alita should go in search for the Ring of Light and Cloak of Darkness. The powers of the two objects alone would be formidable should the others fail in their quests. Alita's task will be great, but with the help of an old friend, perhaps she will accomplish what she has set out to do."
